Just like some of the posters on Gizmodo wondered out loud, even if the software is “custom” it would be good to look at it.

If I was referred to this group in error please accept my apologies! Also, can you edit messages after you post them? My last one sounded rude so I deleted it and posted this one but can you edit posts or just delete them?

Nah, you're fine. But keep in mind that we're geographically focused on the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast. I don't know where you are located; just our location focus in mind when we talk about our museum, our club events, etc.

No.

We addressed that by deleting your previous post before it went live on our list. We were only able to do that because all members' initial posts are moderated, until the person proves to be a non-troll, etc. .... in your case I will change change your status to unmoderated (the normal status here) right after I send this reply.
